Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't really meet my needs here in that I'm
really looking for org to behave more like a filesystem, not something that
I have to manually commit changes to.

If this doesn't already exist, does org already provide hooks or something
that I can plug in to? I would assume a heading-created and
heading-modified hook of some kind would allow me to implement my own
solution fairly cleanly.
